Start a Chapter
Any man can start one.
A chapter is not a franchise or a program. It is a few men, one book, and an hour a week. If there is no chapter where you are, you are the one who starts it. We give you everything you need.
What it takes
Four plain steps.
-
Gather a few men
Three or four is enough. Friends, neighbors, guys from church or work. A small group talks more honestly than a big one, so you do not need a crowd to start.
-
We give you the book
Every chapter reads the same book at the same time. We tell you what it is and where to get it. The book is the common ground that makes honest conversation possible.
-
We give you the guide
Discussion questions for each week, bookmarks, and a short starter kit. You do not build the material. You gather the men and show up.
-
We give you the six-week rhythm
One book every six weeks: pick it up together, read and check in through the middle, and gather to close it out before the next begins. The cadence is the discipline. We hand it to you ready to run.
You are qualified
You do not have to be an expert. Any man can guide.
The man who guides a chapter is not the teacher and not the theologian. He is the one who prepared, who holds the room, and who keeps the conversation honest. That is a role any man can grow into. The first meeting feeling a little uncomfortable is normal. The guide role can rotate, so the weight does not sit on one man. Brian will walk with you through the first meeting and talk it through with you after. You start with a brother beside you.
